Re: It's Saturday!

  • Last night was date night! We saw Gone Girl. I loved it. I thought it stuck pretty close to the book (although I have small complaints about Desi's character that aren't the fault of NPH). DH thought he was going to hate it, but he loved it. When the credits rolled, he stood up and loudly proclaimed,"WTF!" A few of the women around us got a good chuckle. He told me that he knew the general plot, but he did not think it was going to be so crazy!

    Today I'm getting my hair cut and a new phone.

    Tomorrow is football, chili, and grading.
    TTC #1 since Feb. '12. dx: "unexplained" IF
    After 2 shitty IVF cycles and 1 loss at 6+2 (EDD 11/7/14), DH and I are pursuing DIA.

  • Last night was just pizza night with my sister. As usual, DH picked up an extra shift so he missed out.

    Today we have a gender reveal party at 1 and then may have dinner with my parents.

    Tomorrow is church and then DH told me he wants to deep clean the house. I'm game since its a bit dirtier than I'd like it to be but I don't expect it to take more than a couple of hours.

    Overall it's a pretty chill weekend.
  • Last night, we had pizza for dinner, then tried to keep warm while messing around....on the internet. Perverts. I know what you were thinking. 

    Today, we are going to dinner with our niece, who is home from college for the first time.  Then we have a surprise birthday party for a coworker of Jimothy. 

    Tomorrow, we are taking family pictures in the morning, then I'll be lesson planning, correcting/grading and probably napping.

  • @poppies717‌ I'm glad to hear the movie was done well! I have a feeling Alan will have a similar reaction! I really want to go see it!

    Today I am going shopping, then to work.

    Tomorrow Alan and I have to discuss some things about work to see what the best option is moving forward. Fun stuff here!
  • Mr is playing golf this afternoon, so I'll be going to lunch ad shopping with mom. Then dinner with my parents.

    Tomorrow is relaxing and getting ready for my out of town trip for work.

  • Yesterday was DH's birthday, and he decided that all he wanted to do was have beef stew and cake at home.

    Today is rainy and chilly, so we'll probably just go walk around at the mall. I have a few things to return and it gets us out of the house.

    Tomorrow we're headed to the ILs for a combined birthday dinner for DH and SIL's BF.

    ...hello out there!

  • Last night Dh and I walked around the downtown area of our city, got some coffee and then went to a meeting.

    This morning we went to breakfast, and now he's at another meeting while I'm doing laundry and trying to convince myself to go to the gym.  Tonight I think we're going to go see "If I Stay."  I read the book and liked it a lot and it's at the cheap theater in town ($4.75 a ticket) so I think we're going to go.  I really want to see "Gone Girl" but I'm too cheap to pay real movie ticket prices.

    Tomorrow we're going to the IL's for my MIL's birthday...womp womp womp.

  • H went to a funeral this morning, but I stayed home with a sick boy. I probably would have cried the whole time at the funeral, so it might be best I didn't go. It was for a guy at our church. He's been the business manager for at least 20 years as his second career. He was all excited for his retirement to spend more time with his wife. He retired Tuesday and passed away in his sleep Tuesday night :(( it is going to be so strange at church without him tomorrow.

    I am hoping to get downtown today. There is a huge rowing competition that my dad is competing in. Then we have a 50th birthday party tonight.

    Tomorrow I hope we can take it easy. We had people over for dinner Thursday and Friday evening, so I am kind of pooped.

  • Last night DH went to the football game and I stayed home and ate my favourite pizza and watched PVR.
    This morning I spent two hours in the lab getting blood work and this afternoon I'm meeting two friends for mani and catching up. I can't wait. Probably top it off with coming home to clean the bathrooms. Tonight I think will be take out and renting a movie with DH.
    Tomorrow will be cleaning the rest of the house, laundry and painting the dinning room since it's raining this weekend. And football, obv.

  • Wow @mrads :(. That is so awful. We need to buy pet food today, and go to the homebrew store to get stuff to make cider. Tomorrow we brew and hopefully hit up the farmers market.

  • Happy Anniversary @nfp147.

    @Mrads I am so sorry to hear that :(. How very sad. 

    Yesterday I went to Costco and this morning just did housework and stuff like that. My parents recently gave us a gift card for a dinner out so we are having date night tonight too :)

  • @mrads - that's so unfair. How terrible.

    @Xan921 - let me know how the movie is!  I think I'll watch it when DH is away in a couple weeks.

    I'm glad the Hs are enjoying Gone Girl; maybe I can convince mine!

    @nfp147 happy anniversary!

    @MRads I'm sorry :(

    I'm way late to the party, but it's been kind of a busy weekend here.

    Friday afternoon DH and I went to the zoo with the girl I nanny, then Friday 5 til late was the annual department bar crawl.

    Yesterday morning I ran a few miles, then we cleaned most of the day because our place was a disaster and we had people over last night for games and drinks. It was nice because it turned out an old friend of DH's was in town for the night with his wife, so they came over too.

    Today we need to get groceries, and I need to grade. I'm hoping to get some reading in as well.
